Thousand Miles Project

overview

According to a Chinese proverb, the journey of a thousand miles must always begin with that first single step…

In partnership with Universal Content Productions (UCP) and writer/producer Soo Hugh (The Terror, Pachinko), the Thousand Miles Project will provide up to 20 writers/writing teams the opportunity to learn about television writing and the industry through panels and lectures with writers, development execs, managers, and agents in a two-day intensive virtual workshop.

After the workshop, participants will be invited to apply for a 24-week development lab by submitting a series idea for further development. Television project proposals in any genre are welcome.

From those proposals, up to 3 writers/writing teams will be selected to join the development lab with Soo Hugh, her team and UCP to write a pilot script and potentially develop their project further with UCP. The lab writers will meet on a bi-weekly basis, with additional monthly meetings with Soo and her team.
